Test yourself on Diagnostic Misconceptions - Ionic & Covalent

  • What will determine the degree of ionic or covalent character of the bonding in a compound?

  • If the difference in electronegativity between two elements that make up a compound is 2.0, what would this suggest about the character of the bonding?

  • If the difference in electronegativity between two elements that make up a compound is 1.8, what would this suggest about the character of the bonding?

  • If the difference in electronegativity between two elements that make up a compound is 1.6, what would this suggest about the character of the bonding?
